Basque Fish Soup

I just re-found this recipe while going through my Mom’s old file box. She used to make this quite often when I was a child. She probably found the recipe in the newspaper. This is a quick, easy and delicious recipe using ingredients that I usually have on hand. It’s also very versatile as for substituting….I didn’t have fresh parsley so I used dried. I only had 1 can of diced tomatoes so I used the can of Ro-tel, which I did have on hand. Also, use any combo of fish/shellfish…tonight I made this using 2 small tilapia fillets and 1/2 lb. of bay scallops, it was a nice combo. This is a great cold weather soup….it will give you the warm fuzzies. I served it with freshly baked dinner rolls, though a crusty bread would be nice too.

Truffled Cream of Chestnut Soup

An autumn/winter companion with a warming quality. This is a basic version, feel free to experiment with different herbs or adding white wine to this nice soup.

Coconut Kisses (“kokosbusserl”)

These small delicacies are rich, moist and full of flavour. And so simple. A traditional Austrian Christmas speciality absolutely worthy of being an all-year- rounder.

Mandelkränzchen (Almond Wreaths)

This old recipe is from my grandmother’s recipe box. I’m not sure where she got it. I do remember eating them at her house during christmas past. My sister and I would use one finger each in the center hole and try and tear the cookie apart kind of like a wishbone. Who ever got the bigger section won and, of course, we each would keep winning and that meant eating more cookies. The time does not include overnight in the refridgerator.
